The Wifes Of ?.
I find working with Government documents not only fun but can be very rewarding. One can learn on how our Government started and the changes that were made a long the way. I like the Bill and Acts, as they can tell you a lot about ones ancestors, yes there a lot of legal words, but the information you get makes it worth reading. You can learn dates and place and names of children and wife’s and husbands names. One can find out about a ancestors military service or what kind of work he may have done. These documents are full of information so if you run across a Government document, when your researching your ancestor take time to read it you never know what kind of treasures lay within.
Note. This information will come from the Bills and Acts, housed at the Libary of Congress.

It appears from the representations of the petitioner that, in 1813, he volunteered as a lieutenant under Captain David Erwin of the militia, and continued in service till discharged by Major General Hampton; that, in the winter of 1814, he was employed by Colonel Bissel to reconnoitre the enemy ‘s lines, and to watch their movements; that a part of his house was occupied as a guard-house during the time the army remained there, which was about three months; that, about the time of the evacuation by the American army, there were stored at his house thirty barrels of beef and pork which belonged to the United States.
The petitioner further represents that, immediately after the removal of the American army, the enemy approached them, and because they found public property at his house, because he had performed services, and because a part of his house had been occupied by a guard, they became much exasperated, and plundered or destroyed whatever of furniture and other personal property they could find; at the same time they also injured the house itself as much as they could, without entirely demolishing the same, destroying the doors, floors, and windows. He therefore prays Congress to indemnify him to the amount of six hundred dollars.
The committee think there is abundant evidence in this case to show that the destruction complained of was wanton on the part of the enemy. In the first place, none of the witnesses state that the beef and pork were deposited in the house of the petitioner; a fact so essentially necessary to substantiate his claim, and so easily ascertained if it had existed, that the absence of proof in regard to it must be taken to justify an inference decidedly in the negative.
In the next place, the petitioner himself assigns to the enemy a plurality of motives for the destruction: to wit, “that he had rendered service to his country; that a guard had occupied a part of his house some time previously to the destruction; that beef and pork were in it,” &c. To say that an enemy is at liberty to destroy the property of citizens because they serve their country, saps at once the foundations of patriotism, and overthrows the whole system of honorable warfare among nations; such a principle would prepare the way for every terrible Ill attending a war, not of victory, but of extermination.
The committee are unable to determind the quantum of injury done to the petitioner on account of each of these distinct, if not contradictory, motives which have been inputted to the enemy. It appears to them that, taking into view all the circumstances of the case, the more rational conclusion will be that the destruction of the petitioner’s property is only another instance of outrage committed by the enemy during the late war. They therefore submit the following resolution: Resolved, That the prayer of the petitioner ought not to be granted.

Men Of The Marines
In all the years I have been doing ( Surname Researching ) I don’t believe I have done one page on the Marines, I don’t know why I just haven’t. even though I know the marine is just as heroic as any navy man. The marine faced many dangers along with the navy men and were in many of the navy battle along with the navy men, but for some reason never mention any. Although most if not all these men will be office, but none the less I know there are families looking for information on then, and I hope this page will help some of those families break down some of those brick walls.
Note. I don’t know why, but there are no official rosters for the marines or navy till 1812, and the rosters for 1813 and 1814 and 1831, are missing. There are no duty records till the year 1818.

Part of a report on why he was Cashiered from the service.
The petitioner sets forth that he served in the marine corps from July 11, 1798, to September 1820, at which last period he was lieutenant colonel commandant of the corps; that previous to the last date he had become insane, and while insane, was tried by a military court-martial, convicted and dismissed from the service.

Captain Gamble, then a lieutenant of marines, was attached to the Essex frigate, during her memorable cruise in the Pacific ocean, and was entrusted, by Commodore Porter, with the command of the Greenwich, one of his prizes; that, whilst thus commanding, he fell in with the Seringapatam, an armed ship of the enemy, of very superior force, which, after a short conflict, lie captured.
A report on John M. Gamble, February 4, 1836.
John M. Gamble, claims $20 per month for certain disbursements made and other staff duties performed, from April, 1817, to 31st December, 1822, while in command of a post in the marine corps. The committee find that these alleged disbursements were made, and that these alleged staff duties were performed by the said Gamble; they also Ibid that $20 per month, in compensation therefore, would be the proper allowance, and report the same accordingly.
The said Gamble also claims twenty-five cents for each ration furnished by him for seventeen seamen and four marines, together with six prisoners of war under his command, when left by Commodore Porter in charge of prizes in the Pacific ocean during the years 1813 and 1814. The committee find that these services were of erformed as alleged by the said Gamble; and they further find that the commutation of twenty-five cents per ration is the usual and proper allowance therefore, and report the same accordingly.
The said Gamble also claims a further allowance for house rent, which claim is disallowed by the committee; and they report thereon accordingly.

AND here is a 1947 radio vignette, a drama produced for a radio show in the 1940s. These are re-enacted dramas of events in the lives of Marine Corp heroes. The Marines used this as a recruitment tool. This story is about my great-great-great-grandfather, Lt. Francois Godefroy Barbin DeBellevue.
http://randsesotericotr.podbean.com/2008/05/03/the-marine-story-program-4/
Even though they spelled his name wrong, Francis De Bellevue, and refer to him as Frank, probably to Americanize his name for audiences of the 1940s not familiar with French Creole culture, and barely give him a Creole accent, it's still good. The radio and television star, William Bendix, plays the role of "Francis De Bellevue" (William Bendix was famous & later played the title role in "The Life of Riley" series on television for you very old folks).
You have to remember that radio was the only source of info in those days. It wasn't until 1946scientists at the laboratories of the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) developed the Image Orthocon Tube, which finally made broadcast-quality TV cameras possible. This drama was aired in 1948. This Orthacoustic disc of this dramatization was produced by NBC’s Radio Recording Division and pressed by RCA, matrix HD7-MM-11941 There’s a pencil notation on the label that is was played on WMIN radio station on February 1, 1948. Most homes didn't have televisions then.
In this dramatization, Lt. DeBellevue is ordered by Gen. Andrew Jackson to go to Barataria, find the pirate Jean Lafitte, and offer him amnesty in exchange for fighting on the American side of the Battle of New Orleans. The recording is very old so ignore the warped sound of it in the beginning.
We do not know if Lt. DeBellevue actually did this act concerning Lafitte.. We do know he led the Marine company in the Battle of New Orleans after Major Daniel Carmick was wounded. We do know he served under Gen. Andrew Jackson, and we do know the pirate Jean Lafitte, did come to the aid and side of the Americans in the war.
I've always heard Lt. F.B. DeBellevue was considered a hero in New Orleans. His huge portrait that hung in the St. Charles hotel in New Orleans had a plaque with the inscription: Lt. Francois Barbin DeBellevue, Hero of the Battle of New Orleans. I've heard cousins who visited New Orleans in the 70s, showed up to a restaurant to which they previously made reservations, and had the red carpet rolled out with their dinner paid for simply because their last name was DeBellevue. The owner assumed they were related.
One always wonders if there is some embellishment of ancestors when doing genealogy research. But the fact they used his service to encourage Marine enlistment suggest he was indeed looked upon as a hero.

Second Lieutenant, 3 July, 1812. First Lieutenant, 18 June, 1814. Captain, 3 March, 1819. Resigned 9 February, 1820.
Note. The Marine Corps. Registry of 1812 through 1836, only cover the ranks of Captain, First & Second Lieutenants, so I hunted out some lower ranks, as I know there are families looking for ancestors that were in the marines but were in the lower ranks.

The following names were taken from a report of Certificates of date issued. The Commencement dates and amount of certificates were left off this list. The ships service named here is not of the year of the certificates dates issued. The ships service would have been at the time of the Commencement dates of the certificates, this service would have been between 1777 through 1783.
Note. There may be some added information on some of this names, if you would like a look up, you can find my address in my profile.
